Pam,
I'm so sorry we didn't get the opportunity to talk more but you were and always will be an important part of my life. To your family I wish only the best as they struggle with your loss.

Grandma Pam, I wish we had more time to get each other but yet you always knew what to get me for Christmas. I loved going to your house every year and to see how happy you were that we were there. I love you and will miss you dearly.

Grandma Pam, I will always remember the night we all went to eat after the TSO concert. It was then that I realized how funny you were and I think it was the first time you realized that I wasn't that bratty little girl anymore. I wish we had more time together. I had so many experiences I wanted to share with you like a Hurricanes football game or just watching the girls play. I saw in your eyes that you loved them and I hope you knew how much we all love you. You will be missed, but we will keep you alive in our hearts. I love you Grandma "Ham"
